Alright, so last question-I think.

So I can run the Smitty SRC Classic Rock Rails with the ACE Rock Rails?

Are there any other options that are the same and cover the pinch seam and include a step or something to get in with? Wife isn't that tall.

Do yourself a favor and look up the set from JCR Offroad before buying the ace. And look at what the Ace ones look like without the rubi rails. Seems to me that you're only getting one opinion so far.

I will check them out. I like the look of the ACE, but I feel without the rails it looks unfinished. Owning since early 11' my pinch seam is banged up and I wouldn't mind covering it.

I have the ACE without Rubi ralis. They've held up great and I don't think they look bad at all without the rails. I have thought about taping the pinch seams off and painting them black so they'll disappear.

Head to your local bed-lining shop and see about getting the lower 4" sprayed before putting on the ACE rails

Found a brand new pair of Rubi RR on CL for $150 and picking then up now. So you can install the ACE with the RR? Does it matter which go on first? Going to put the RR on tonight of it doesn't matter

I installed the Rubi rails after I bought the Ace rails. You just need to loosen the bolts to the Ace rails and you can slide the Rubi rails in without totally removing the Ace rails. If you can wait, it's a little easier to install the Rubi rails first.

Chrome is finally gone. New gas cap and installed some rubi rails. Should be getting the ACE rails in by the weekend and will install then.

Thanks for the help fellas.
